    Very dissapointing to hear this Straich as myself and a hiking partner were set to hit the trail at Woody Gap next Sunday (one week). Sounds like we should second guess that decision. Thanks for...

    I grew up on a farm in middle Georgia. In the early 80's pine beetles began making an impact on an area that was almost exclusively pines. Now - 30 years later - there is nothing but hardwoods...

    I agree with Muddywaters. In my opinion, you've got too much weight for either pack. The upper limit of these packs is ok to push for a week or weekend. But you don't want to walk 2000+ miles with...
